I was happy with my life. And who wouldn’t be? Beautiful women, money, a job that I could sleep through and still make bank. But I was bored. And I never could walk away from a challenge.
This challenge turned out to be brunette. Feisty. Just the way I like them. But innocent. Too innocent for me. Too innocent to do anything other than sample and toss back. Anything more would be too risky, too much work.
I was unprepared for Julia Campbell. I should have done my homework, should have looked before diving into unfamiliar waters. Ditching her proved to be problematic, my sexual needs greater than my common sense.
She was different. She became more than a challenge.
She may just bring my world crashing down.
*This novella is a companion piece to Blindfolded Innocence, a #1 Erotica Bestseller.*

If you have not read Blindfolded Innocence you are going to want to before you read the Diary of Brad de Luca. While this was short, it's a nice transition before the release of Masked Innocence which after a long wait is finally going to be released at the beginning of next year.

Brad de Luca is used to getting whatever he wants. He gets women, he has money, and an amazing job, but what he wants now is Julia. He gets bored easily so when he meets the intern Julia who was hidden from him- due to his past -he knows he must have her. He'll pursue her, woe her, and ultimately she'll rock his entire world.

I read Blindfolded Innocence a long time ago and it was nice to have this diary as a refresher before the next book comes out. Best part? It's has a twist I enjoyed it's from Brad's POV. If you have never read any of Alessandra's work, Blindfolded Innocence is a great place to start. I stumbled across her work right before I started my blog while snooping around in the Erotica section. I fell in love with the original cover (which BTW did you see the new cover???) and knew I had to buy a copy. I immediately fell in love with both Julia and Brad and Brad's diary left me wanting so much more and eagerly anticipating the release of their next book. Alessandra is an amazing author and person who's work leaps off the pages and pulls you right in. She's one of the best authors out there and believe me this series isn't the only work of hers that is great, I have loved ALL of Alessandra's work. To me Alessandra is so much more than an author she's always available to discuss her work and connect which is rare. She's the reason I started writing. Direct and to the point The Diary of Brad de Luca will have you itching to go back and read Blindfolded Innocence all over again. While I wish it was a little longer, it was enough to make me fall in love back in love with these characters that I haven't read up on in more than six months, 5 stars!***ARC provided in exchange for a honest review***
